Hi,
My RV came OEM with the perko keyed switch that Roy shows.
I believe they are $5.95 at Napa. Continuous duty 100 amps, contacting 1000 amps.
OK I put one of those on. It does NOT work. Actually it worked for avery short time, and then, I thought my battery was dead, as when I turned on the key, and looked at the battery monitor. IT just kind of flashed and went dark. I removed it from the loop, and the battery was actually fully charged. Can't figure out what went wrong, but it was like the battery had to warm up to work with the switch in the loop.
I went thru two of these in one summer. Rain water corrodes the inside. Get a Blue Sea or other that is made for marine use.
